The CHIEF May 2024

Yellow Tulip Project By: Vanessa Kapper

Have you ever noticed the yellow tulips planted in front of the school? It turns out that there is a unique story behind them. Class of 2022’s Ava Nollen and Emma O’Lone brought the Yellow Tulip Project with them to PTHS and their science classes after learning about it at a Key Club District Convention. The yellow tulips are a sign of hope and they were planted with the intention of breaking the mental health stigma. Communities and schools all over the world have gathered together to plant “hope gardens” and talk about mental illness. With May being the month of Mental Health Awareness Month, there is not a better time to talk about mental health, so try to notice them next time you pass by!
